[Footnote 127: Sir George Cornewall Lewis was better informed in the early stages of the American conflict than any of his ministerial colleagues. He was an occasional contributor to the reviews and his unsigned article in the _Edinburgh_, April, 1861, on "The Election of President Lincoln and its Consequences," was the first analysis of real merit in any of the reviews.] [Footnote 128: In his _Memoirs of an Ex-Minister_, Malmesbury makes but three important references to the Civil War in America.] [Footnote 129: Adams, _Charles Francis Adams_, p. 165.] [Footnote 130: Dodd, _Jefferson Davis_, pp. 227-8.] [Footnote 131: _Ibid._] [Footnote 132: It was generally whispered in Southern political circles that Davis sent Yancey abroad to get rid of him, fearing his interference at home. If true, this is further evidence of Davis' neglect of foreign policy.] [Footnote 133: Du Bose, _Yancey_, p. 604.] [Footnote 134: Adams, _Charles Francis Adams_, pp. 149-51.] [Footnote 135: Possibly the best concise statement of the effect on the North is given in Carl Schurz, _Reminiscences_, Vol. II, p. 223. Or see my citation of this in _The Power of Ideals in American History_, ch. I, "Nationality."] [Footnote 136: Hansard, 3rd.

Mann did not arrive in London until May 15. Du Bose, _Yancey_, p. 604.] [Footnote 140: Richardson, _Messages and Papers of the Confederacy_, Vol. II, p. 34. This report also shows that Mann was not present at the first interview with Russell.] [Footnote 141: F.O., America, Vol. 755, No. 128, Russell to Lyons, May 11, 1861.
